Norite is a generic petrologic term for an igneous mafic rock that has
primarily orthopyroxene + plagioclase and little or no clinopyroxene.

Hi Jim,
The electron microprobe is the workhorse for classifications, and most
of this can be done simply with a probe mount (epoxy mounted sample
that has been polished). In general you don't need a thin section or a
petrographic microscope, although I always use a reflected light
petrographic
inclusions from the iron or for that matter oxygen isotopes of the
lithologies that seem to be more like achondrite, you could start to
sort out if it is all from the same meteoroid.

I think where NWA and the hot desert finds have had the greatest
benefit to science with a capital S are in achondrites and in
particular martian meteorites. If you look at the abstracts at

martian meteorite literature is now
of NWA 5000 on the wall right across the hall from the NASA

where a Moon rock comes from is secondary.
This enhances data acquisition instead of competing against it.

significant large pieces of surviving material? It seems like
Chelyabinsk is outside the sweet spot as it apparently produced mostly
fragments even though it had large mass. On the other hand much bigger
masses may also survive. Is it bimodal?
Thanks,

The ANSMET yield is Interesting from a statistical perspective. If
anyone thinks NWA is not high-graded in Morocco, then think again!
Makes you spoiled, darn! just Howardite -- I had hoped it was a Lunar
Breccia or yet another pyroxene-phyric shergottite! LOL

I agree, in fact I have done numerous break/chip/cleave on BB,
especially for the destructive analyses for isotopes. But the flat
surfaces from saw cuts, ground and polished, are needed for microprobe
and SEM.

of the reduced carbon -- my team has been studying this
meteorite with numerous lab techniques since August 2011.
PS: the Science Article print version will be on newsstands Feb. 15.

Hi Jeff,
Of course the comparison between chondrite groups and martian types is
not perfect. The different martian types

on locality: I propose saharaite. So we now have the
meteorites from Mars or SCANS
S: shergottite
C: chassignite
A: ALH 84001
N: nakhlite
S: saharaite
Enjoy!

meteoroid
in interplanetary space (before Earth entry) is estimated at diameter
~50 cm, so anyone hoping that there are many 10s of kg of Black Beauty
on the ground in the Saraha will be disappointed.
